Work Experience

2018 - PRESENT

Information Security Analyst

Onyxcorp
  • Created a viability assessment and quantitative comparative discussion of the adamant-based messenger app.
  • Suggested an original ceremony for second device synchronization and activation.
  • Developed a lay person-accessible article on Kerckhoff's principle.
  • Built significant improvements to the security and usability of password interfaces.
  • Constructed a go-to schematic diagram to determine the primary or secondary authentication protocols to be chosen from.
  • Authored an original knapsack-based public-key cryptosystem.
  • Revised and corrected several corporate advertisements and articles.
  • Evolved into the go-to person in the company for questions on information security.

2016 - 2016

Software Analyst

Brazil National Institute of Pure and Applied Mathematics
  • Created documentation in Latex for software written in R by F. Macias and his adviser professor, Dr. Jorge P Zubelli.
  • Helped research and provide analysis for a thesis on the topic of the Optimization of Strategies of Liquidation of Options Portfolios. The thesis subject can be viewed as considering different approaches for a specific optimal stop problem.

2014 - 2014

Programmer

Federal University of Rio de Janeiro
  • Developed new classes for a C++ simulation API by DEM Solutions, used in the Laboratory of Mining Technology (LTM) of UFRJ. In the Laboratory, the API is used to simulate milling in an attempt to energetically optimize this process.(http://www.edemsimulation.com/).
Technologies: C++, C, Numerical Simulations, Object-oriented Programming (OOP)
2012 - 2013

Programmer

Federal University of Rio de Janeiro
  • Helped to develop a piece of software in C++ for the Mathematics Institute. The goal was to calculate the tau function in order to investigate the integer tau conjecture, an important conjecture in the field of Complexity (See "Complexity and Real Computation" - Blum et al.). My program calculated the inverse image of the Tau Function through depth-first search. The entire project was overseen by professor Gregório M. Muñoz.
  • Added functionality for parallelization with Open MPI (a distributed memory architecture for parallelization).
  • Optimized performance by working with GMP (GNU Multiple Precision), a library for arbitrary precision to express large integers.
Technologies: GMP, Open MPI, C++, Algorithms, C, Applied Mathematics, OpenMP, Object-oriented Programming (OOP)
2010 - 2011

Programmer

Federal University of Santa Catarina
  • Developed C++ software in the Organic Opto-electronics and Anisotropic Systems Laboratory. The software has two functionalities - to calculate Interface Width and Height-Height Correlation of surfaces. (References: Marta Elisa Rosso Dotto "Universality of Scale Laws on Chemically Attacked Surfaces http://unicamp.sibi.usp.br/handle/SBURI/42157).
  • Delivered a functional piece of software to the lab used daily by the team. This accomplishment is further supported by the fact that I had no knowledge of programming when starting the project.

Experience

SRVB Cryptography

http://github.com/Yuri-SVB/SRVB-Cryptography
This is the implementation of an asymmetric cryptography based on the knapsack problem, conceived by professor Daniel Santana Rocha (IMPA) and Yuri da Silva Villas Boas (UFRJ), that I turned into my master's degree thesis.

Improvement on BIP39

https://github.com/Yuri-SVB/formosa/
Formosa is a password format that completely outclasses BIP39. The latter consists of sequences of semantically disconnected words, whereas the former consists of semantically congruent sentences that make sense. In other words, it drastically increases the cost-effectiveness of entropy per user effort in memorizing or transcribing the seed, and it works great as a regular password.

Cell-phone Symphony

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILUtH7l7DAc
Baroque trio sonata in E flat major for harpsichord, organ, and violin, composed in 2008, having a famous cellphone ringtone as the main motif. The duration is one and a half minutes, with approximately 240 beats per minute.
